Personalizing a discussion is expressing one's own opinion. If somebody differ they are at liberty to express their own opinions. During a discussion as it progresses depending on the other member's opinions, opinions too change. If a member continuously changes his opinions, the concerned member must be having his own point of view. Anyhow all these opinions are to be taken as the respective member's opinion for which they are entitled to.

usha manohar created new topic Man Made Calamity - Threatens millions of people ...
It is a well known fact that we have collectively abused nature to the maximum extent possible and now the warning bells are ringing and how ? According to a recent report if we don't take steps , a spike in the temperature ( climate change ) could lead to a rise in sea level, which in turn would make millions home less in India and elsewhere ..

Shah Rukh Khan also passed this remark on 'extreme intolerance' in the country and was termed 'anti-national' by a another leader. It seems be be like fire catching on. It has to stop
I guess now the government will have to think of making space for all the awards and felicitations that have been returned by the writers ! The funny thing is even choosing personalities for awards was always clouded with controversy , now the same people who may or may not have been eligible want to return , goes to show that they have either not things over well because most of these awards were conferred by the UPA government an their support for the writers is laughable given this fact , and the writers and the so called thinkers and rationalists have acted on the spur of the moment or probably those awards meant nothing to them. A sane person would not return something that he or she has been honored with in the past !

Sanskrit is a language like other languages. First, how many students are interested in reading languages. Maths, English, is much more important for students.
True. In the present scenario of Globalization, importance of subjects related to Maths, Physics and other related subjects gained importance. The aim is to achieve a livelihood with a purpose and meaning,
Actually in every field there has been a lot of contributions from various famous Indians and our children know very little of them. Jagadish Chandra Bose, Hargobind Khorana,Homi Bhaba, EK Janaki Ammal and Aryabhata are vague names for our students until they take up a subject where these names are more than important.I feel including these names in school level would give a sense of pride amongst our children, the pride of being Indian! Likewise I don't see harm in including the verses from The Geeta.It teaches us a lot and very much relevant even today.Of course that does not mean exclusion of the other languages or work of Great Scientists from world around. To include something, certain things have to be eliminated based on their importance in a particular state.
Change is part and parcel of life and we have to welcome it rather than get stuck in a rut ! New ideas and new thoughts need to be introduced into education system which can be eliminated if found not effective or useful..

usha manohar replied to the topic Heated Bihar Polls ..Round 4.
We see how during every single election, different political leaders putting down the others and then calling themselves pious ! Congress forgets its own past abusive mentality started by Sonia Gandhi and other top leaders ,which led to BJP giving tit for tat. Now all the parties seem to take pleasure in doing this, so one cannot point fingers at any one party .. Blame game has become the order of the day and when someone loses the others are ready with their tirade and so on...Winning a losing is part of the game and winning one state election does not change things drastically.But the opposition parties may unite together in their bid to out throw BJP which should be resisted by all citizens knowing what we will be in for if such a thing happens in the future!

Prediction itself says, it's a forecast.It may be deducted from how things are going in the immediate present. Seeing the present players China's presence and it's expansionism, there may be chances for evil plans to be used against India.
It may become true or false in the coming years.

@vijai there is nothing like love or hate in politics. Indian politics is all about caste and creed otherwise the TV channels and politicians would not keep counting heads- day-in and day-out constantly ever since the election process started in this country.

The voters of Bihar have very strongly shown that hate and divisive policies will not be tolerated by average Indian. Howsoever mathematics, upper caste dis not come to vote etc reasons may be put forward, hate politics must end.

Do we have to personalise every single discussion instead of discussing the pros and cons and then may be adding ones personal life habits just as an example !
Change is an integral part of life and we can either accept it or reject it . There are enough number of people who accept changes and also reject changes outright, some would like to wait and watch and see how things develop and may accept changes when it is necessary.In fact it is stupidity to outright reject any change without analysing . I have seen many people eat their words later when they have been forced to accept new ways after having put up a lot of resistance in the beginning ! No one is perfect nor completely sure and and I feel a person should always leave some room for doubt !

One can only surmise but what happens in the future can never be predicted accurately ! The seeds of discontent was always there among Nepalis which was evident when they had the earthquake and they openly questioned and ridiculed the help given by the Indian government. Now Indian government should be very tactful and leave them to manage their affairs the way want, at the same time taking a firm stand where the nations interest are concerned..
